This is the first boss of the "Deathknight" (south-west) wing of Naxxramas. Strategies for defeating him can be found at http://www.wowwiki.com/Instructor_Razuvious.

Kommentar von 5946

This is the easiest boss in Naxxramas. This fight requires your priets to be on the ball with Mind Control and they must have +2 or +3% hit with spells to do this smoothly. Razuvious hits too hard for a player to tank him, so you must keep an Understudy mind controlled at ALL times to tank him. If he goes loose on the rogues they must pop evasion immediately if they get aggro to tank him shortly.

You must keep Razuvious out of line of sight from the casters at all times or he'll one shot them all when he does his Disrupting Shout. If you set him up just out of Line of Sight at the bottom of the stairs on the right side you need to place the tanking understudy just in line of sight so the healers can heal it. When the Understudy's Mind Control is almost up have the second priest who is on Mind Control duty start mind controlling and get him over to Razuvious. The priest should make the Understudy pop Shield Wall then Taunt instantly to pick up aggro, having the Understudy auto attack is enough for them to keep aggro off the DPS. They hit pretty hard.

This fight is very simple and just requires the priest's to deal with any resist on Mind Control very fast, and the tanks to taunt the non mind controlled Understudy off the priest quickly before he gets to the priest. That's the entire fight right there. Melee can stay in and DPS Razuvious the entire fight and ranged dps make sure to get out of the Disrupting Shout so you can stay alive. The shout will do twice as much damage as you have mana. So if they are oom they can stay out wanding or auto shooting.

If you happen to wipe on Instructor Razevious, before you die run up to the boxes in the back of the room, jump up on them fast and the boss + adds won't aggro you. And you get out of combat. No need for soulstone!

Hunter specific tips:
- Stand on the opposite side of the opening from the boss so you get some range
- No multishots, 3-5 hunters spamming it damages the tanked adds a lot
- Use serpent sting since your not using any mana on multishot
- Some people come with the idea that hunters can stand out all the time since our mana is so low we can't die from the Razuviouses shouts but this is a bad idea since your dps will be crap
- Even if you're not using multishot you should feign death about 2 times in the whole fight

Kommentar von 6226_

the are great for the +hit. since 2.0 8pts in chase to hit = 1 +hit on the old system. hopw this helps.

Kommentar von Smirkloph

If MC brakes on an add, and rogues get to tank him, make the raid use https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=1191 from the https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/quest=47 quest so the rogues with high dodge can tank him till the priests can MC another one.

Tip for Level 70 "extreme" Mode:

Razuvious can be tanked by a T5-T6 equipped Prot Warrior, but a good geared Feral Druid is **strongly** prefered.

Kommentar von 44840

For level 70 players wanting to do this fight:

If your warrior or druid has T5+ quality gear, he can easily tank Razuvious himself. Off-tank the adds and just burn Razuvious. You still should LoS the shout, it will still drain most of your mana even at level 70. This is easy to do if you tank him near the ramp, then just line of sight when the cooldown is almost up.

A note to healers: The tank will often take a spike of damage that must be healed up quickly. Otherwise, you should not notice a huge drop in HP too often. A well geared tank will dodge, parry, or otherwise mitigate a lot of the damage.

Kommentar von 43910

The level 70 extreme mode you mentioned worked very well for us, only he oneshotted our t6 drood tank near 5% with 20k something damage. Not that it mattered tho.

Kommentar von kc8pnd

Raz was tanked by a T5 pally with 20k HP, still hit for 15~16k. This mob is one bad ass, /bow raz.

I think this fight is funny because at the start he quotes a line from the first karate kid... Sweep the leg! Do you have a problem with that!

Fyi this is still the "old" version of Instructor Razuvious.
In the 10man version of Naxx, he only got 2 Adds that can be MCed the same way however and
he has about 3,2million hp.

Kommentar von 213344

In WoTLK he is a trainer for the DeathKnights. Saw it in a movie on gametrailers that he gives quest to get a deathknight sword; I'm just curious if you're going to do naxxramas again in WoTLK if he's still in there

Very fun fight at level 60, even though MC-breaking is very frustrating. As long as healers are out of LoS of Raz there should be no problem with healing. Use Amplify Magic on the raid and MC'ed mobs. I found that large burst heals (ie for a druid - Highest Rank Healing Touch) was the most effective way to heal in this fight, obviously take short breaks to regen mana as needed.

Kommentar von Wildabeast41

Jesus, Bacon of Light was putting my Heals at 4000+ Heals per Second. Once both students were taking damage, just stick a beacon on one of them and heal to your hearts content on the other one. Once both of them are near 75% health, I used Avenging Wrath and Divine Illumination. Mind boggling numbers...

Kommentar von 24756

We did the 10-man version of this boss earlier today, and the fight is quite simple. Definitly a good place to start.

The boss walks around in the circle with two adds. On your side, there are two crystals, "orbs of domination". These are used to Mind Control the adds.

We pulled by having one of the tanks pull the mob he was to MC while I (also tank) started Mind Controlling the other one. If you don't pull by attacking the boss, he'll stand there for a few seconds while you get ready. Immedeatly when taking control, I used the Bone Armor ability and started attacking the boss, putting up Taunt as soon as it was available. A few seconds later, the other tank took control of his add. After 15 seconds, half the Bone Armor cooldown, the other tank used the Bone Armor ability and taunted the boss off me.

When he did so, I ran back with my add to the back end of the circle, then released. As soon as he started running towards us, I used the mind control orb and sent him back in. When half the Bone Armor cooldown was gone for the second tank, I put on my Bone Armor and taunted off, and the process repeats itself. We had two occasions were the MC broke randomly - I'm not sure what's up with that.

EDIT AND NOTE: If you want to release the mind controlled add, the "leave vechile" button does NOT work. What you have to do is dismiss it like a pet. Either use this macro:

/script PetDismiss()

OR right click the frame and click "dismiss pet".

EDIT 2: Appearently, the Leave Vechile function now works just fine. Still, in case something goes wrong, right click your pet portrait and click dismiss :). Thanks, coog86!

The reason we decided to do so at half the bone armor cooldown was twofold - one was because my UI was messed up and didn't allow me to see the buff on my add, and the other was to give some room for mistakes. With 5 seconds to go, there's no reason to take a hit without bone armor, and it gives enough time for the other tank to get his off cooldown.

Healing wise, if done right, the fight isn't particularly bad though the adds need a fair bit of healing along with the group taking moderate damage. We had a Restoration Shaman with us to take care of most of the group healing but sometimes the Paladin healer helped out a bit, to. If one of the add controllers is a druid, remember that they can if they put their add far away enough put an innervate on one of the healers between re-mindcontrolling.

DPS wise, you'll enjoy this fight if you like big numbers as threat isn't even remotley an issue.

Tankwise, it's certainley a change of pace.

Good luck everyone!

Kommentar von Djuntas

If your wiping cause of MC breaking (Atleast 1 DPS will die then if both your MC npcs taunt are on cd) do what me, and me guild camed up whit.

While I tank, the other guy who controles the other MC tank, breaks his MC by using his own abbltiyes. Quickly get into MC again.. rince and repeat every time your not tanking. Best tactic for avoid MC breaking in a bad situation.

Hope you can all use this

Kommentar von Thorhamma

If you have a blood Death Knight in the group, have him/her use Mark of Blood at 75% health on Razuvious. This will heal the adds for 2% of their health every time he hits them. This literally saved our raid tonight on this boss.

Kommentar von Dathren

On 10 man this is an extremely simple fight. Have your tanks pick up the two adds right off the bat by clicking the crystals at the entrance to his room and tank him close to the top of the circle on the ground that he's standing in. The first tank will have a few seconds before the boss agro's anything so he will pop the bone shield which is 6 and then taunt the boss which is 5, then you'll maintain threat with 4 an ability that does quite good damage. As soon as the cool down on the bone shield is halfway through the icon call for the other tank to use their bone shield first then taunt off you. It's very important to use bone shield first otherwise you'll take substantially more damage. As your mind control nears the end of it's timer release as soon as the other tank has taunted the boss off you, then click the crystal ONCE to regain control of it.

-To clarify if anyone wasn't sure you don't need a priest to mind control for the 10 - man raid, I can't say with any certainty about 25 - though.

Kommentar von Drogba

Done this on 25 man and I have to say its easy as well...You should have 2 priests to MC. Good thing about this fight is that hes shout will not own you now, for it only hits about 4k. Have ran into some problems in this fight you cant have the students tank each other then let the boss just kill everyone, make sure you get on the boss and taunt, and when your about to die use the 3 ability which is sorta of like a shield wall/and tell the other priest to taunt the boss, then if your channeling is low and your student is not tanking the boss, go ahead and break and reMC a different student that has more HP and get ready to do it over again by a taunt.

Kommentar von Kotasirith

The spell Beacon of Light really is excellent here. Pop it on one of the mind controlled adds and then heal the other. If you use a bunch of cooldowns you can bring both of their health up a lot in a short period.

Kommentar von Avalonia

What is annoying about this fight is there is very little you can do if everything doesn't go just right. So many things can go wrong that it makes the fight overly annoying. I understand Blizzard's desire to keep fights "interesting," but this fight is annoying not interesting.

For those of you who know how to read one... the numbers speak for themselves...

And for those of you who don't know what to look for...

Heals per second = 10,131
Total healing done = 2,143,451
Total Healing = 2,836,706 (glyph did the overhealing)

Oh and @ the guy who said it heals the boss.... Look at healing heals out... 0 healing done to the Instructor.

Almost 3 million healing in 5 minutes...Absolutely amazing for a paladin.
Too bad I had to change around my beacon due to the MC breaking.

Edit: Lol at whoever rated down the post where I said Beacon of light is amazing. My comment on that still stands.
'Nuff Said.

Instructor Razuvious- 10 man
Raz stands with two understudy adds. The main objective of this fight is to use the two understudies to tank the boss while the raid DPSes Raz down.

MT and OT: Use one of the mind control orbs to the left or right of the ramp to being controlling one of the understudies. First tank will cast use the mob's ability of Bone Barrier (reduces physical and magical dmg by 75%) and then taunt Razuvious. Once half the Bone Barrier cooldown is used, call out and have the second tank do the same (bone barrier and taunt). Rinse and repeat.

Healers: The understudies will be taking a lot damage here and there if bone barrier timing isn't done correctly. Just make sure you heal them as well as the people using the mind control orb and the raid. Just don't forget about the understudies as they won't show up as pets (or at least they didn't in grid mod). Occasionally he throws a ticking debuff on a raid member and you'll see their health start to tick enormously, just make sure you heal through it.

DPS: Go all out but don't pull agro. Without bone barrier, he will isnta-gib most cloth wearers.

This post is about the 25-man fight, from the point of view of a priest.

First, if you're a holy priest, don’t do like I did and leave all your hit rating gear in the bank. Without it, your MC will be broken more often. And when you're on MC duty, you really don't need all that int and spirit anyway.

If you're not a priest, please understand that this fight will be noticably harder in the 25-man version, primarily because your priests must do the tanking. Your priests are likely NOT accustomed to rotating taunts, etc. Until your priests figure out this fight, expect them to get a little trigger happy and mis-time their taunts. Our guild considers this taunt rotation to be the highest priority, and we keep vent clear to help the priests communicate better.

Here are a few tips for the priests who haven't tried the fight yet.
- Once you cast MC, of course you'll want to target the boss as soon as possible. I wrote a macro to help with this (a simple "/target Instructor Razuvious" should do the trick). HOWEVER, I find that when I cast MC my normal action bars change (surprise!), so to make a long story short the macro hasn't helped much yet. Next time I will keybind this macro; I suggest you try the same.

- To save time getting MC back up when it breaks/expires, I put a focus on the Understudy that I plan to use. That way I don't have to lose any time looking around for him. If you're not worried about targeting an Understudy, then you can use your focus on the Instructor instead and ignore the macro I suggested.

- When you're channeling MC, this will be your action bar:
1: Auto attack. Keep this going at all times. (Doesn't seem to toggle on/off; the button just turns this on.)
4: Blood strike. Spam this to keep up theat/dps.
5: Taunt
6: Bone barrier
=: Exit vehicle (As noted above, this doesn't do anything.)

EDIT: Guild members have reported that in the 10-man version (when you don't need a priest for the mind control), the Exit Vehicle button functions just fine. I realize this conflicts with the post above from Torte, so something in-game may have changed.

Maybe some of this stuff is obvious when you think about it, but I sure wish I'd been able to read it before my first try at the fight. Good luck!

Kommentar von 219211

If you are doing 25-men version of this fight and all of a sudden you realize that you don't have 2 priests, don't get too disappointed - mage can tank this boss. All you need is 1 Death Knight Cavalier ( https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/npc=16163 ) that needs to be offtanked the whole fight for mage to spellsteal bone armor ability. It absorbs some crazy amounts of damage and death knights renew it often enough for you mage to keep spellstealing it and staying alive. Don't know how reliable this method is, but it can be done.

A small, but very important tip for the 10 Man version of this fight.

This might seem painfully obvious, or it might not, but after having my guild wipe to this fight many many times in a row before we realized this, I felt it worthy to mention...

When you channel the crystal on the 10 man version, you must target which Understudy you want to mind control, same as if you were a priest casting mind control. The crystal is NOT innately tied to the Understudy directly across from it. You must target who you want to mind control. Otherwise you will find yourself receiving error messages, and/or seeing your Mind control break 1 second after you apply it repeatedly.

After someone suggested that in Vent, we killed the boss laughably easy on our 12th attempt or so... There was much /facepalming all around.

Kommentar von 296952

Interesting, because it worked 2 days ago.... and there has been zero downtime for a hotfix to be implemented.... 4 people on my server have done it this weekend. I plan to try tonight. Solo mage of course.

Kommentar von 86477

There will ALWAYS be a 1% chance for the mob to resist no matter what, so just get the +3% and you'll be fine.

the 1% always has been removed from teh game mechanics - 17% is now the hit cap, not 16% as it is possible to be capped so as you never miss.

if doing this on 25 man- you should have 2 sp's in your group anyway for regen.
if so - mark the four understudies with for eg - blue square green triangle orange circle and yellow star.

1 sp takes blue and green
2nd sp takes orange and yellow
they alternate between each other for mc and they alternate adds to avoid the uncontrolled one.

ye dont need 4 tanks for this - ye can do it with 1- 2 understudies will be mc'd and 2 will be tanked by the tank. with the sp's swapping out with whatever understudy they need for that moment. adn teh tank pikcing up teh debuffed, un-mc'd add until it is ready to be sued again.
the tank should try to do as little as possible dmg to the adds and only needs to keep aggro.

shockingly easy fight with 2 sp's

Kommentar von 167903

Good morning, Understudies. I am Instructor Razuvious, and, for the rest of the semester, I am your master.

You are delivered to me, soft as newly hatched doves. I will turn you into stone. Under my tutelage, you will become unflinching enforcers of the will of the Lich King.

My strength and ferocity are famous throughout Azeroth and Northrend. Even the most robust of foes are cleaved in twain by my mighty blade. None can withstand my attacks! My enemies are cut down like wheat.

Over the next few months, you, my select few Understudies, will be trained to endure the withering sting of my blade. You, and you alone will be strong enough to hold your ground against the unstoppable onslaught of Razuvious.

I shall... Yes, do I see a hand in the back? Do you have a question?

Hmm... No. I can't imagine any possible situation in which training my understudies to stand up to my mighty attacks could possibly lead to ironic or detrimental consequences for me. I mean, how would that ever happen?

What? Well, I don't think any of my Understudies would ever be so disloyal and foolhardy as to turn against me, but if one ever did, I would dispatch him according to the "Standard Rules of Raid Boss Engagement." I would focus unwaveringly on stomping that backstabbing worm under the heel of my boot, while ignoring any other foes who may be in the general vicinity.

Unless, of course, there was another traitor nearby, with the impunity to taunt me while I was giving his friend a lesson in manners. Then I would turn my attentions forthwith to the interloper.

Oh, you think that's a bad strategy, do you? Well, Smart Guy, what would you do? Oh, you think I should go after the guy in the dress? Well, if that's such a good idea, how come nobody ever thought of it before? You don't have an answer to that, do you? Well, that's why you are the mere Understudy and I am Instructor Razuvious!

Now, if nobody else has any more questions, we can begin our lessons. The training area is right over there. Next to the mind-control orbs.

What's that? No, I think that's a great place to put them.

-Crawford of Gorefiend.

Jan 7, 2009 This boss may be bugged for some in 25 man. Several guilds have reported that only 1 priest in their raid was able to re-cast their Mind Control.

If you're encountering this problem, we found that right clicking the Mind Control buff, then re-casting (as opposed to letting MC run out) it on your target, it would land without problem. Hope it helps until it's fixed.

Kommentar von 195360

Strangely enough, even though this fact has been suggested in the posts, it has not been said outright: In 10man version, he has ONLY 2 UNDERSTUDIES not 4.

Kommentar von kc8pnd

I have always loved this boss because of the ridiculously large amount of damage he dishes out. Even in old naxx a level 70 tank was pushing his or her luck tanking this guy. I have seen druids and warriors in t6 chewed up and spit out because of his Unbalancing Strike. The only time he should ever be tanked by a player is by a ranged taunt to pull him out of the raid should a mind control break, if he does manage to get an Unbalancing Strike off on you prepare to sort through your combat log for that 80k+ 1 shot :P.

Kommentar von Sivrok

Practising for the 25 man – (DON’T PANIC!)

For priests attempting the 25 man version of this encounter (i.e. with mind control not orbs) for the first time it is worth noting that you don’t need to use the mind control orbs on the 10 man version of this - you can use mind control.

Thus you can practise your mind control techniques and timings on the 10 man hopefully reducing the learning curve for the 25 man version.

Kommentar von 133471

Me and my guild tried this boss with only 1 shadow priest. What we did was: our tank "tanked" the 3 understudies while the shadow priest mc'ed one of them to tank the boss. When the Bone Barrier of the understudy was over, he switched to another understudy while the tank who was tanking the 3 understudies taunted the one the shadow priest had let go of. During that time the other tank sacrificed himself, giving time to the shadow priest to change its mc on understudies (the tank who tanked during this time was resurrected by druids 3 times, so u need three druids at least). We continued on doing this until the boss died.

(I know my explanation might be a bit confusing:D)

Kommentar von 297548

Just a reminder for the priests that are not used to MC.

Before you perform the initial MC pull, don't forget to mind soothe the understudy you'll be MC'ing, otherwise you'll need a pally bubble to survive his blows.

Actually this boss could be tanked except there is a problem with Unbalancing Strike! This hit is not mitigated by armor. If it hits it a 90-100k hit and you're dead.

As long as Unbalancing Strike does not land on you, the normal melee hits are about as hard as the strikes from Patchwerk except they land slower and 3 healers have no trouble healing that. But sooner or later you're going to get an Unbalancing Strike and die.

Should mages cast Amplify Magic on the raid and the adds once they are mind controlled?

Kommentar von 312853

Did this boss yesterday on 25 man, when we got to it we realized that we lacked one priest due to disconnect... anyways we first tryed him with only the one priest and we failed due to uncoordinated actions, but then we came up with a new way to do this encounter with only one priest:

First off all your gonna have to kill at least one of the adds, at the same time the priest should MC on add and tank the boss, all ranged should stand at the "stair" down to where the boss is and tanks should stay at the bottom. Then as the MC reaches like 5 sec left the priest should guide his target at the opposite direction of the casters, and all melee should run up to the casters and even a little further...

This will give the priest more time to MC his next target without many ppl getting killed by Instructor Razuvious. We made it on the first try due to this tactic. hope it might help others if they lack Priests =)

Kommentar von Danaan

Two days ago we had very big problems on this encounter. The MC had broken very fast and we were not able to kill the instructor. It was very frustrating and we were all $%^&ed, especially the priests involved.

Then we noticed something very special. That was our first attempt with three pallys in the group. One got the devotion aura, another one the concentration aura and i took the shadow resistance aura.

Our raidleader told me to turn the shadow resistance aura off, maybe thats the reason for the problems. And what happened? We killed him in the first attempt.

So make sure no paladin has got the shadow resistance aura active.
It seems that because of the channeling nature of mind control and the shadow resistance the adds get, they will resist during the channeling and it will brake, wipeing your raid.

I was really !@#$ed :(

Kommentar von 319266

If you have trouble finding priests to do Instructor Razuvious on the 25 man version on naxxramas you can actually skip him.

I cant confirm this 100% since i figured it out on accident and we didnt skip the boss :)

What you need to skip him;
A warlock to summon the people that died and released.
+ 2 other people to help him summon :)

What to do;
Pull Instructor Razuvious.
Run to the other side of the area where he is standing in.
Look how the rest dies and then summon them.

Original story what happend;
Our priests missed mind control and took aggro that way.
After they died we called it a wipe and people started running away.
I figured out we would die running anyway so i tried to run to the other side of the area he is standing in and hoping he wouldnt aggro me.

Proof;

I'd like to reiterate a comment made earlier because I feel it is critical and easily lost in the 45+ comments. If you are a priest - PRACTICE ON THE 10-MAN. It's easy to let your tanks use the controlling orbs, but from personal experience I can say that if the 25-man is the first time you have ever tried this, you are guaranteed several wipes and an unhappy raid.

The mind-controlling orbs are not necessary, just a nice way to let a smaller group without priests finish this encounter. My recommendation is if you are on the 10-man, whether shadow or healer, ask your party to let you MC and practice since you will need to be able to do this encounter at some point.

If done right, your group can get through this easily even with 1 less healer, and you won't cause tears when you're required to do it in the 25-man. :)

Kommentar von Random6

For Priests Mind Controlling on the 25 man version:

If you're using the method where you rotate mind controls between two mobs (so as to reduce diminishing returns) make sure to break your initial mind control with something other than a mind control on your next mob.

I learned this the hard way :-(. Break your mind control with PW:S or by clicking the buff off, otherwise your subsequent mind controls are likely to fail.

Kommentar von Tripix

Few words about healing.

Be sure to assign a holy Paladin to heal the adds (both 10 and 25 man).
No other healer is needed on them and Paladin fits this roll best. If he got any problems with healing, some help from raid healers should solve it.
He should cast a Beacon of Light on one of Deathknight Understudy, and heal other one.

From my healing experience it is possible to heal both adds close to maximum hp all the time of this encounter (on heroic) being only healers assigned to heal them. Other healers should focus on tanks, raid and You.

Kommentar von 329971

It has been shown that he is tankable by a warrior without mind controlling any Understudies... a Taiwan guild did it a couple of weeks in a row and put one of the attempts up on Youtube...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Moka2U30t4I

For some reason there seems to be a way to get him NOT to use Unbalancing Strike, doesn't seem to be an issue of mere crazy luck.

Anyone figured out what the trick is?

EDIT - there seems to be a bug exploit where Dancing Rune Weapon disarms the Instructor for the duration of the fight, and without his weapon he cannot cast Unbalancing Strike...

(It seems to be a reported bug)

I've been doing this fight every week in 25 man for months and have never had a problem with MC breaking until this last week (week of March 11th).

Every single damage tick from the spear and the disrupting shout broke MC for both my priest and the other one MC'ng with me (we're both max hit). Since the disrupting shout is raid wide, it was a guaranteed break every 15 seconds and then the spear damage prevented either of us from re-MC'ing until the debuff fell off. And of course by then you're done and have to wipe or reset.

Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

As 1 of the MC'ing priests i use following macros:

Focus macro for Understudies:
#showtooltip Mind Control
/clearfocus
/focus ;
/clearfocus
/cast Mind Control; Mind Control

/target Instructor
/petattack

#showtooltip Taunt
/target Instructor
/petattack
/click PetActionButton5

#showtooltip Bone Barrier
/target Instructor
/petattack
/click PetActionButton6

When your Bone Barrier is 1-2 secs away from going off i spam this:
/w <Insert other Mc'ing priest's name> <TAUNT!>
/w <Insert other Mc'ing priest's name> <TAUNT!>
/w <Insert other Mc'ing priest's name> <TAUNT!>

If anybody cares, there's a spelling mistake on blizz's part under the statistics page, for instructor razuvious kills. It reads: Instructor Raxuvious kills. It is spelled like this on both the 10 and 25 man statistics.

On 25 man I know priests have to MC the understudies but does the frost aura DK(Not option able to turn off) effect the MC? I know they get the buff but the resist only help them resist the initial cast not after their MCed right? please get back to me on this.

make sure you have party frames avaialable to release your pet.

make sure any other custom addons like bartender are setup to enable a MC bar.

make sure to post another thread on the wow forums requesting no more pet or siege encounters in raids.

Make sure to have at least two priest in your raid..

My raid experienced a slight glitch while doing this encounter. About half way through, one man dismissed his understudy to refresh, and found he was unable to get control of him at all. He clicked off his portrait and back on, but to no avail, resulting in a wipe(I vanished. Yay Rogue)

Anyone else experience this?

Having Problems with Razuvious in Heroic mode?

1. Make sure you have no Death Knights with the talent 'Frost Aura' in range of your party. Since mind controlled targets become party members they gain the resistances granted by Frost Aura, which will be a base of 80 Shadow resistance (contributing to frequent MC breaks).

-Frost Aura is currently a talent, and it cannot be removed from your buff tray. Death Knights with this spec must stay far out of range of the raid.

2. Ensure no Paladins in your raid have "Shadow Resistance Aura" active, this works the same way as Frost Aura.

3. Ensure Paladins in your raid do have Concentration Aura active. There is an active AoE during this fight, each time your priests take damage it reduces their channeling time. Concentration Aura is very handy.

5. Make sure that the mind controlled mobs stand relatively still, moving them around causes the MC channeling duration to decrease.

4. Don't concern yourself with Hit rating, it is almost unnecessary if you follow the conditions above. Holy/Disc priests shouldn't have any noticeable issues if the fight is done correctly.

Does anyone know how to get armour like his?

I heard there was a way to get his armour in the old naxx, but was removed.
What were these pieces or set called?

So, anyone know any armour sets or pieces that you can get to look like his?

Having spent an evening wiping on the 10-man version of this guy, I'd certainly refute claims that he's the "easiest in Naxxramas".

There is zero room for error, particularly on the part of the rent-a-tanks. Both must stay alive and, unless you have a few truly terrific healers, must not get hit without Bone Barrier up at all. DPS must be high enough to finish Raz off before the tanks are ground down (this will inevitably happen - his DPS will top the HPS unless there's some out-gearing going on), while the healers simply have to try and keep whichever tank is being hit alive for as long as possible.

Just remember that having two tanks does not mean you can lose one. As soon as one tank goes down, you have roughly the length of the remaining one's Bone Barrier to survive.

Easiest in Naxx? No boss in either Arachnid or Plague quarters even approaches this chap.

The crystals in 10-man reacts much differently that I read up to now.

They don't need targetting. If this was true before, it is not now. They target the closest understudies, even if the closest is already mind controlled.

This can create a "target is already charmed" problem. It is very simple to go around, but its extremely frustrating when you don't know what is causing it, which caused us a few wipes.

Kommentar von kicken

Our guild did this last night for the first time in 10-man naxx, and it seems having a focus target set will interfere with trying to renew the mind control using the orbs.

After our first wipe I DI'ed the priest to res us, which caused him to be a focus target due to my DI macro. On our second attempt I released the mind control to renew it, but it failed to renew due to the error "That target cannot be charmed". Once I removed the focus target from our priest everything worked fine again.

So for 10-man at least, if your on MC duty, make sure you don't have a focus target set.

It should also be noted that the Understudies are now Taunt Immune. It used to be a viable strategy that when the priests release mind control to refresh it a tank could pick up the understudy and keep them in position and not hitting the priest. This no longer works.

We were also having major problems with the mind control breaking early. The priests were reporting that pretty much every time after they used their taunt on the Instructor their mind control would break. Not sure if we had any shadow resistance auras up or not but it was a major pain.

He hit me for 227,000 damage. I bet he could kick the Lichkings ass.

Just for clarity sake, when the mind control breaks from a priest mind control in 25 man, the student will be FIXATED on that priest for about 8 seconds. No amount of threat in the world, or threat drop, or hand of protection will peel the student off of the priest for that duration. Heal your priests! Also, remember that mind control has diminishing returns from mind controlling the same student over and over, so make sure to control a different student that has not been mind controlled in the last 20 seconds.
